JAMMU, Nov 17: Appreciating Government’s resolve, in the two-day Regional Conference on ‘Replication of Good Governance Practices’, to create a transparent, accountable and people centric administration in the UTs of J&K and Ladakh, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State Executive Member, Raman Suri today said that Government must also work on reducing unnecessary multiplication of litigations with regard to service matters of Government employees.
The move, he said, will help reduce pendency in courts and unnecessary engagement of Government employees in unproductive works besides ending their grievances. A number of service writ petitions that are pending in courts are being unnecessarily multiplied by Government which ultimately result in waste of time and energy besides work days. These, if ended, will enable entire workforce to work with complete dedication making them part of good governance.
Welcoming the adoption of Jammu Resolution titled ‘Sushasan Sankalp-Jammu Goshna’, Raman Suri said this is rare, examplary and highly appreciable. However, decisions of this resolution must begin to percolate down to grassroot levels so that commoners get to reap their fruits. He also hailed decision of conference to develop both UTs as models of administrative excellence, improving citizen interface with Government by promotion of digital governance, and giving citizen centric governance.
Raman Suri assured people of both UTs to have faith in the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi and see Jammu and Kashmir as well as Ladakh transforming into UTs of excellence in days to come. He said once grievance redressal mechanism is improved and paperless secretariats begin to function, things will begin to improve drastically.
Appreciating civil servants for implementing all Central Government schemes in UTs ably, he urged upon the Lieutenant Governor, Girish Chandra Murmu to direct them to settle employees cases departmentally and stop encouraging multiplication of litigations unnecessarily.
